and thank god he shows up on that night, because that narrows the timeline, that preserves the crime scene at that point, and that prevents wilson saintil from coming back and cleaning up the crime scene. when we found out later it was him, the feeling that he had the nerve to come to our home to see it s still hard to comprehend that. wilson saintil was tried and convicted of first-degree murder. he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. saintil left evidence behind, some he might have explained, having worked there as an employee. but not all of it. i think forensic science is amazing. that s what solved the case. it just puts that much more of my faith in the system. i m glad it s progressed to where it has and i hope it
saintil s dna to the blood droplets on the kitchen counter and faucet. those six foreign male dna profiles found at the scene did match the suspect in the case. the 51-year-old haitian national was arrested on suspicion of murder. do you have anything to say at all? they ve got the wrong guy. they got the wrong guy? yes. you didn t kill stephen holmes? no. you don t know anything about it? stephen was my good friend. although his blood and fingerprint were both at the scene, police had a problem. there was a plausible explanation for his blood to be at the sink in the kitchen. the defense is clear, he s a maintenance worker. he s a prep cook. people cut themselves all the time. and there was no proof his fingerprint was in stephen s blood. it could have been there previously. although his blood and fingerprint were both at the scene, police had a problem. there was a plausible explanation for his blood to be at the sink in the kitchen. the defense is clear
